The weight loss journey still continues

So, its been a really long time since I made my last post, seems I lost track of my blog till today when Facebook showed me my memories. Man life has really flown by, 2 kids now, 10 and 6 year old boys. We have moved to a new house, changed schools for the boys. I am still a stay at home Dad, which I am really good at. I quit smoking and gained everything and an extra 20 lbs I never had before in my life. At my heaviest after quitting smoking I hit 290, in the last year I dropped that down to 270 and in the last 2 weeks I have dropped that even further to under 260. I have been doing crossfit for about 3 years now, battled a few injuries, one because of the gym and 2 others cause I am who I am lol. Lately I feel like I have hit a new gear on my training, diet and life habits. Previous to this last year I spent the better part of 2 years removing the negative people who I had allowed to infest my life. Removing the poison from your life is a very difficult task, losing friends you've had for years is really hard, but I knew in my heart and mind that allowing myself to be around those behaviors and types of people were only dragging me down. I have since surrounded myself with quality people who seem to genuinely like, care and are invested in me. I find that to be really weird and comforting at the same time. I truly enjoy my life so much more now that I don't feel like I need to be someone I am no. Being who I am around the people in my life, them accepting that and me accepting that its ok for me to be who I am. No one expects anything else. My resolve is strong I will conquer.
